Tenacious D

Tenacious D is a rock band that is mainly comical. Although Tenacious D sings with a comical approach a lot of their music is musically genius. The lyrics are hysterical the riffs are rocking and the music is original. A lot of their songs came from their movie Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. A few popular songs that came from that were Master Exploder, Beezleboss and Kickapoo. Tenacious D has three very popular songs that most everyone knows about which are Master Exploder, Tribute, and F*** her Gently. Also with the Tenacious D they put on a good show.
Pros: Funny, great lyrics, original and rocking music.
Cons: Most rockers/Metalheads don't look for comedy when trying to find music.
Overall 8/10

Rammstein

Rammstein is a great german band yet not so good at times. They have a very good heavy metal sound with very deep and intimidating vocals. Rammstein has a few popular songs in America. Most songs that Americans know about Rammstein are Du Hast, Sonne, and Amerika. Those are three great songs that are very popular. When you ask anyone what songs they know about Rammstein those are the three answers you get. One of the reasons to that is because Rammstein is one of those bands where a lot of their music sounds the same and only a few songs are great and the rest fall in the decent category. I really enjoy most of their songs but i do have to admit a lot their songs sound just alike. Overall Rammstein has a great metal sound and a select few songs should be categorized as amazing.
Pros: Many songs of theirs are absolutely amazing. The vocals are very deep and sound great.
Cons: A few incredible songs a few good songs but a lot of decents which is not a good thing. Also many songs sound alike.
Overall: 7/10

Scars On Broadway

Scars on Broadway is a great Metal band. They are led by Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan. Daron Malakian is their Guitarist and vocalist and his vocals are really strange and great. His vocals have improved from his System of Down days and his guitar riffs have not. His guitar riffs are still pretty good but his riffs from System Of A Down were a lot better. They have a few great songs that i really enjoy which are They say, Chemicals and World Long Gone. Those are three great songs that have a great metal sound to them.
Pros: Good vocals and very interesting metal sound, funny lyrics
Cons: Sometimes their songs don't sound very crisp/clean, Guitar riffs are pretty good but simple and not as good as they could be.
Overall 7/10
